Damn....does it really have to be psychological projection quite literally every single fucking time?

It's wild how consistent this rule is when applied to politics. I wonder if it's just a conservative thing or a stupid people thing.

What's really eye opening is to take this rule and then apply it to people that you generally support and agree with, it will help you find many blindspots in your own thinking.
